BLVD Steak
Restaurant · Sherman Oaks
13817 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423
Highlights
"This upscale spot in Sherman Oaks isn’t doing anything wildly different than other classic steakhouses in LA, it’s just executing the playbook to a tee. Plushy green banquettes and black paneled walls give the dining room a sleek, members-only feel. Martinis arrive icy and smooth (with a shaker for additional pours) and thick cuts of red meat are cooked perfectly medium rare. The gigantic bar area buzzes with the energy of a studio social mixer. BLVD is the kind of all-purpose Valley gathering spot where you can take the family for a wholesome midweek meal and then sneak back a few days later for a Vesper and filet mignon at the bar." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Planning a birthday dinner when you’re married with kids and your in-laws are in town usually means you’re just ordering pizza and staying home. BLVD Steak is proof better options exist. This upscale spot in Sherman Oaks isn’t doing anything wildly different than other classic steakhouses in LA, but it’s executing the formula better. Plushy green banquettes and black paneled walls give the dining room a sleek, members-only feel without being intimidating. Martinis arrive icy and smooth (with a shaker for additional pours) and thick cuts of red meat are cooked perfectly medium rare. Arrive before 8pm and the dining room will be filled with well-dressed families, but if you want to leave the kids with the in-laws, come later when the gigantic bar area buzzes with the energy of a boozy studio mixer." - brant cox
"This Sherman Oaks restaurant opened in November 2023 to Valley crowds hungry for a hip steakhouse. Step inside to find tables ordering multiple courses of BLVD’s petit filets, dry-aged 42-ounce tomahawk steak, or three types of wagyu. Order the caprese-inspired martini shaken with Grey Goose, Campari, tomato simple syrup with sherry vinegar, and a fresh mozzarella garnish. The team will add a second location in Calabasas in mid-2025 in the former Crossroads Kitchen space." - Matthew Kang, Mona Holmes
"A meal at BLVD Steak can work out nicely for a Monday night, which is when street parking on Ventura Boulevard is far easier to come by. Reservations can be wide open in the early weekdays, a boon for those who want a fancier steak dinner early in the week. The patio is spacious, but the dining room can also be a key spot to dig into the dry-aged 42-ounce tomahawk steak, spaghetti and wagyu meatballs, a whopping seafood tower, Maine lobster tail, and the caprese martini with a sidecar of mozzarella." - Eater Staff
"The Order: Caesar This salad has a lot going for it: Chunks of romaine are all equally coated in dressing, and the sheer amount of shaved parmesan on top gives every bite a fluff-like quality. But what makes this very good caesar and makes it great are the crispy, buttery housemade croutons. We’d order them as an appetizer if we could." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
